  • Foster congeniality among the State’s beekeepers.
  • Perform all other acts appropriate to a non-profit organization in serving its members.

Open Hives

PCBA hosts open hives at member’s apiaries each year. Open hive events are a chance for members to learn beekeeping skills and techniques from other members in their hives. Dates and locations for 2026 can be found on the Events page.  

Community outreach 

PCBA runs a community outreach booth at the Harvest Festival at the Cross Insurance Center each fall. Members also do informational presentations for schools and community groups around the area. If you would like to have a beekeeping presentation or table at your event please contact us.
